Fuck! I'm high. NORMAL?

BurnDownTheDiscoHangTheDJ · 18/10/2022 21:29

So I got high as a teen by smoking it. Never smoked if for 15 odd years. Recently started using edibles for pain (I have lupus). No worries. Taken half a few times. Starting taking whole ones about 2 weeks ago, last one Friday. Took one about 7pm tonight and felt good but fine, pain helped, as usual. But then suddenly as of about 9pm I am SO FUCKING HIGH. Like, SuperHans-high. I've eaten about 12 penguins bars and a six pack of veg crisps meant for the kids packed lunch. My husband is here and thinks this is HILARIOUS. I'm headed for the whole block of cheese in the fridge door and laughing my arse off at Gavin and Stacey on iPlayer.

Is this normal? I've never had this while taking edibles before for the past month or so.

Thanks anyone kind enough (or high enough) to answer.

Three was nice, four took out the pain and I felt more mellow though - I do need to try when im not suffering gastroparesis so a full, non moving stomach! I think thats slowing things down.

I'll try three next then, my tolerance is quite low, have only had a few puffs over the years and reacted badly twice so want to avoid that.

Have to say, the company are amazing, very quick and friendly, happy to give advice.

Gastroparesis doesn't sound like fun, hope that gets sorted out for you Flowers

Has anyone tried their brownies yet? I ordered and received a chocolate orange and a Lindt one. I have sectioned them into six portions for each brownie and froze them.

I will be honest I want to get a bit high but not super Hans high. Just enough to watch telly and laugh at nothing with my friend.

@BurnDownTheDiscoHangTheDJ
Can I please ask what you use aside from edibles to ease your lupus symptoms. My nephew has similar lupus symptoms but all tests are negative for lupus. I'd like to help
Him and see what suggestions you have.

He's been undiagnosed for a few years now and I hate to see him suffer when he gets ill.

Yep its not... stuff doesn't move, feel hungry but full, sends my blood sugar nuts, affects my guts later on... when I posted that it felt like a stomach full of knives too.

Better now, it always passes but can be a few days - 4 drops meant I could also move around enough to release whatever the hell had been trapped in my subluxing hip joint! Took 3 days for me to realise I had the oil, had some of that and a few hours later could stand and wiggle my hip around until there was a huge crunchy CLICK!! and suddenly the pain was gone. Up to that point I hadn't been able to stand (I can't stand long at all but can usually do enough to take a few steps!) long enough to do that.

Big fan, not the giggly silly high of smoking it in my youth but very mellow and relaxy and significantly less pain (does however negatively affect my Scrabble skills. Damn.)

ItsMeHiImTheProblem · 01/12/2022 22:14

That's good then! I haven't tried more drops yet. I have the sweets too and had a whole one and a bit today but it had no effect on me at all. It would have been nice if it had, because I'm in a lot of pain today, can't weight bear on my left leg and have no crutches.

Tomorrow I'll try four drops and see if that helps. Do you take them on a full or empty stomach?

WiddlinDiddlin · 02/12/2022 05:37

Still faiiiirly full stomach, will try on an empty stomach next time I have a day off the next day!

ItsMeHiImTheProblem · 02/12/2022 16:32

Yes it was a stupid question, asking if you take it on a full stomach, sorry!

Do you think it would work better on an empty stomach?

WiddlinDiddlin · 02/12/2022 17:51

No worries!

Yes it will definitely be better or faster and stronger acting on an empty stomach at least, whether thats 'better' for you, thats personal preference and individual reactions and tolerance really.

ItsMeHiImTheProblem · 02/12/2022 23:17

Thanks.
Four drops under my tongue didn't really do anything. I had eaten though, so maybe I need to try next on an empty stomach.

WiddlinDiddlin · 03/12/2022 04:44

Mmm, under the tongue should be good regardless of how much you ate.

It does say (after I moved the bottle back and forth in front of my eyes til I could focus on it because I am now so old I do the manual zoom thing...) a suggested dose of 5 drops.

I am being extra cautious as it isn't the best thing for my heart issues (but so are many other things and being in pain is one of 'em) and I am buggered if Ill die of cannabis when there are so many more exciting things I could die of!

5 in a cup of tea, only had a cheese toastie for dinner and this was about 6 hours later so reasonably empty stomach --- verrrrrrry mellow, smiley, unable to Scrabble-Go and the muscle spasms in my ribs went away :D

I am so glad this thread is still here and people are getting some relief for chronic issues. I’m back on the morphine, hopefully not for too long, but I do supplement with oil, plus as opioids cause nausea and loss of appetite it helps with that too.

yes I agree with PP that empty stomach will hit faster and feel stronger. Under the tongue should bypass the stomach though … so it depends on your pain levels and personal preference for how mellow you want to feel!

ItsMeHiImTheProblem · 03/12/2022 11:56

I'm just aiming for painfree and slightly high, like feeling mellow I guess. I'll try five drops under the tongue next time.

Ilovehamandtoast · 04/12/2022 05:32

Bad bad pain issues here And total insomniac (crocheting at 530am) but tagging in to read. I can't spend any more nights awake, despite being on strong painkillers.

Used to smoke it like a trooper but quit at the start of covid.

If you do some brownies I find that a 3.5 in an pre
Mixed brownie mix is enough to get high. Which is what I am going for and it works for me. I'm not super Hans high just a nice sleep and a laugh at the telly.

Maybe you could do 3.5 and cut them into 32 pieces rather than 16 it might offer pain relief but not get you high high.

Hope you find some relief.

I am glad that this thread is still here. I'm surprised also.

Hope you find some relief with this.

It's such a shame that it's not prescribed for people regularly even without the thc part.

Just wondered if anyone has any updates? I haven't tried the drops again yet, as I've not had the time talk to sit and be mellow. Now that Christmas is over I'll hopefully get round to trying again soon.

The gummy edibles seemed weaker but lasted a bit longer
The drops were the precise opposite

Both together = Super Hans relaxed

ItsMeHiImTheProblem · 27/12/2022 16:58

Yes, nothing with the gummies but had low dose ones. Will try more drops.

I think it's automated- did you put a link in to a seller or something?
